Billabong

In 1973 Gordon and Rena Merchant started producing handmade boardshorts out of their flat after discovering a surfing utopia; a 20 mile stretch of golden beach and perfect point breaks in Australia. During the 80's Billabong went international, firstly exporting to California, Japan, New Zealand and Europe and then finally licensing, but only after each international licensee had achieved Gordon's benchmark of dedication, honesty and prudent business savvy. Gordon surrounded himself with some of the finest minds in the industry, both in Australia and abroad, who helped steer the good ship Billabong on a course which would take Billabong to the helm of the surfing world.

Hurley

The history of Hurley traces its roots back to the surf industry in Southern California in the late 1970`s. Hurley surfboards was established in Costa Mesa in 1979. In 1982 Hurley pursued Billabong and Billabong USA was established as a separate entity and licensee for Billabong. By the end of 1998, it was clear that the team had its own vision that did not necessarily serve the interests of Billabong globally. Coincidentally, the license agreement between Hurley and Billabong was also up for renewal. With much gratitude the team gave back the Billabong license and decided to launch Hurley. The essence of Hurley is based on our love of the ocean and its constant state of change. With deep roots in beach culture, we are all about inclusion and positivity.

Roxy

When Quiksilver decided to start a women's line in 1990, it was a gutsy move. Like all things Quiksilver, Roxy was born in the water, initially a swimwear line, it debuted in late summer 1990 to immediate success. By the next year, a Roxy sportswear line was introduced, and that too prospered. 1992 saw continued expansion of the brand with a new denim line and key snow wear pieces. The fact that Roxy was a women's line offered by an authentic surf brand made it intriguing for both retailers and girls alike. It was the first of its kind in the market, and soon after the other surf brands followed. By 1993, Roxy was on a serious roll. The ever-popular Roxy logo was born, a heart-shaped crest adapted from the recognizable Quiksilver logo. As Roxy's popularity has grown so has its product line and its audience. Accessories and eyewear joined the mix in 1995; footwear, watches and Roxy Girl emerged the following year. A snow line including outerwear and accessories was added in 1997, along with Teenie Wahine, Roxy children's line. 1999 was big with jewelry, bags, backpacks, travel accessories, skate gear, and Roxy Room, a line of bedding, lamps and posters. By the end of the 90's Roxy had become the brand for girls everywhere, enjoying mass-market appeal without losing its core audience. Roxy now offers products for every aspect of the active girl's life. From handbag to Henley, wetsuit to tide watch, the key ingredient of our products is that inimitable Roxy spirit.
